Compiz-Fuzion on Fedora 8

[EdwardMorris]

Hi all,

I just did a yum install compiz or yum install compiz-fuzion something and it got installed and I also got the configuration manager GUI in the menu etc. but I am unable to use CF because I can't enable it. What did I miss? How do I get it to work?

What video card? What drivers? What happens if you run 'compiz --replace ccp &' in a terminal?

Finally, mine works. I had already enabled Desktop effects, and check Cube and Wobbly Windows, but that was all I could get. ccsm would save, but not apply to my windows manager, and there were no man pages for compiz.:(

when i was doing a ps -ef | grep compiz, i saw the following :
"compiz --sm-client-id default1 glib gconf"

when i ran 'compiz --replace ccp &' in a terminal, everything started working!!!!!!:D

now all I need to figure out is how to change the window manager command

try disabling desktop effects and press alt-F2 and run 'gnome-session-properties' there add a new item as compiz and in it put 'compiz --replace ccp' :D

Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

Thats what I get when I do the --replace

I have a ThinkPad with the Intel X3100

How to find what driver?

EdwardMorris, what's the output of 'glxinfo | grep -i direct'?

ran the cmd and o/p = yes

[Chuckles]

what is the modules section of your xorg.conf file?

I had to add
Load "extmod"
to mine to allow me to enable desktop effects at all.

Hope this helps

$ LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true compiz --replace --sm-disable ccp &

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do I get it to run everytime I log on?

I think the best thing to do is probably create a script called /usr/local/bin/compiz.sh and add that one line to it. Then make that script executable ('chmod +x /usr/local/bin/compiz.sh') and add it to your normal gnome or KDE session.
